All for one, one for all

It takes a bold man to draw up the courage (or stupidity, depending on your outlook) to wear an all-in-one outfit. Opening Ceremony and Levi’s have teamed up on a capsule collection and sensible products aside (a pair of chambray jeans would be quite useful in warm weather) it’s this all-in-one outfit that caught our eye.

While Sylvester Stallone is far from the first celebrity to launch a clothing line, news that he’ll be taking inspiration from the Rocky and Rambo films has raised a few eyebrows with many expressing shock at his move into menswear – how many more grey marl tracksuits does the world need, right?

The chinos built for life

While there’s no shortage of clothing brands with cycling in mind, it’s fair to say that they’re rather style deficient. Which is why a company like Outlier is such a breath of fresh air. They’ve been creating stylish basics that you can ride in whilst avoiding the spandex fetishist look that cyclists have become infamous for. [Read more...]
